deepest regret of my life. so far.

well everybody would have things that they regret in their lives. and wished that they could do something to change it.

well, dis post will be about my deepest regret so far. i guess its the hardest thing i have to accept in my life, n i dun think i can get over it until forever.


basketball: ppm 07.

well dis is as far, the biggest regret in my life. never have i felt so down n sad about something in my life.
during that year, i was a f5 and was trying to reach back the days of sas in ppm.
but then, a series of unfortunate events (and also stupid decisions and precautions not taken) cost us the target we craved so much for.

we were on track to gaining what we wanted. preparations, sunburns, aching bodies, everything was great. until a bumbling accident brought our player down. damm.

then during the ppm 07, another event brought another player down. (now dua2 guns dah down, dunno how to shoot people down)

when we eventually lost (dah la 2 points je), i was speechless. had the ball, i was open, ball never came. cudve shot a 3 to win it at the buzzer.

speechless.

then our dreams were shattered to bits.

owh well, have to move on.

row row row your boat. life is but a dream.

suddenly the song was up in my head, and it caught my attention.
haha.

Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.

the final syllable is very true.
then i went to wikipedia n found some extended versions :

King Friday XIII's version as shown on Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood:

Propel, propel, propel your craft,
Unforcefully down the liquid solution.
Ecstatically, ecstatically, ecstatically, ecstatically,
Existence is merely an illusion.

Don Music from Sesame Street:

Drive, drive, drive your car,
Gently down the street.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a treat.

Mr. Bean in Bean variated the lyrics while drunk:

Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream.
If you see a crocodile,
Don't forget to scream.
Argh!

Lt. George in Blackadder Goes Forth

Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream.
Belts off, Trousers down,
Isn't life a scream.
HEY!

an extended version[citation needed]:

Row, row, row the boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily merrily merrily merrily
Life is but a dream

Row, row, row the boat
Gently down the stream
If you see a waterfall
Don't forget to scream

Row, row, row the boat
Gently down the river
If you see a polar bear
Don't forget to shiver

Row, row, row the boat
Gently to the shore
If you see a lion
Don't forget to roar

Row, row, row the boat
Gently in the bath
If you see a spider
Don't forget to laugh

Row, row, row the boat
Gently as can be
Cause if you're not careful
You'll fall into the sea!

Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the lake
Don't stand up and rock the boat
That's a big mistake!

Row, row, row the boat
Gently down the stream
Throw your teachers overboard
And listen to them scream!

Rock, rock, rock your boat
Gently to and fro
Watch out, give a shout,
Into the water you go!
Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream. (or Underneath the stream.)
Ha! Ha! Fool'd ya all!
I'm a submarine.

Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the brook.
If you catch a little fish,
Let it off the hook.
Throw, throw, throw the corpse,
Gently in the grave.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Say goodbye and wave.

nutrional myths

i was browsing around nba.com then followed up to nbafit. so here's some of the nutritional tips that they had n hey, it rili helps. orang skrg byk sgt terpengaruh wif diets on tv, by celebs n all.
i guess we shud follow the pros, especially athletes n their trainers' advise because its their main business ryte. well hope this helps :D

Nutrition Myths: Part 1
Posted May 20 2009 11:43AM
From Hornets' Strength & Conditioning Coach, Jack Manson

These are a list of Nutrition Myths are very common amongst the athletic population. In addition, these are also phrases that I have heard from NBA athletes.

Eating large amounts of protein is a good source of energy and will help me grow and get bigger

* The function of protein is to repair damaged muscle tissue caused by weight training. Just eating protein is not going to help you build more muscle but the timing of protein will (ex. Before, during, and after a training session)
* If you do not eat carbohydrates (ex. Low carb diet) or skip a meal, your body will burn muscle for energy (ex. Nightime ¡V when sleeping)
* The body can only breakdown about 5-9 grams of protein per hour depending on the type so a large meal (ex 16oz steak) with too much protein will be broken down and converted into FAT Storage

Skipping meals is the most effective way for me to lose weight

This is actually the one of the most dangerous strategies (Stimulants being #1) to lose weight, especially for an athlete. As previously mentioned, skipping meals (ex. Breakfast) can cause the following:

* Slower metabolism
* Higher Body Fat or Less Muscle Mass
* Decrease performance on field
* Decrease Strength
* Increase in Weight (Long-term)

Only drink water during your lifting sessions is the best option to stay hydrated

* You may be ok in regards to hydration but your muscles will not. Did you know that the Stress Hormone Cortisol is elevated during an intense weight training session.
* Just by sipping a 16-20 oz Gatorade during a 60-90 strength training workout can decrease Cortisol by 50% helping you minimize muscle damage and maintain or improve strength
* By consuming a little protein during and after your workout, you increase muscle recovery and increase your ability to improve strength and performance.
* One of the best Recovery Beverages: Chocolate Milk
* EAS Myoplex Light or Original Shakes and bars are very effective stratigies to improve muscle recovery

linangan air mata

this is a very very sincere and sad poetry, written by Al-imam Abdullah Alawi Al-Haddad. huge, huge difference dengan nasyid2 biasa. its actually a doa, rintihan ketika kesusahan. try to listen, n maybe follow jugak. :)



My Lord’s knowledge has sufficed me
from asking or choosing
For my du’a and my agonising supplication
is a witness to my poverty.

For this secret (reason) I make supplication
in times of ease and times of difficulty
I am a slave whose pride
is in his poverty and obligation.

O my Lord and my King
You know my state.
And what has settled in my heart
of agonies and preoccupations.

Save me with a gentleness
from You, O Lord of Lords.
Oh save me, Most Generous
before I run out of patience (with myself)

My Lord’s knowledge has sufficed me
from asking or choosing

O One who is swift in sending aid
I ask for aid that will arrive to me swiftly
It will defeat all difficulty
and it will bring all that I hope for

O Near One Who answers
and All-Knowing and All-Hearing
I have attained realisation through my incapacity,
my submission and my brokenness

My Lord’s knowledge has sufficed me
from asking or choosing

I am still standing by the door, so please my Lord
have mercy on my standing.
And in the valley of generosity, I am in i’tikaf (solitary retreat)
So, Allah, make my retreat here permanent.

And I’m abiding by good opinion (of You)
For it is my friend and ally.
And it is the one that sits by me and keeps me company
All day and night.

My Lord’s knowledge has sufficed me
from asking or choosing

There is a need in my soul, O Allah
so please fulfil it, O Best of Fulfillers
And comfort my secret and my heart
from its burning and its shrapnel

In pleasure and in happiness
and as long as You are pleased with me
For joy and expansion is my state
and my motto and my cover.

My Lord’s knowledge has sufficed me
from asking or choosing

cakap memang senang. bila dah kena praktikal, baru tau rasanya.

in my previous posts, i once quoted from Nabi Muhammad (pbuh):
musafir ialah secebis daripada azab

and then my fren dJ asked, wat about the people who love to travel?

well, actually i gave it a thot.
then i got the answers, from past experiences, a source, and a hands on practical.
yang paling sakit is hands on practical, i assure u.

past experiences suggest that travelling memang meletihkan. bawak kereta sana sini, duduk dalam plane or train, smua ini meletihkan.
sapa kata bawak kereta tak letih?
bawak f1 letih kot. smua kene buat fitness training n all. macam sports lain jugak.
sama jugak with normal cars. letih je kene bwk sana sini. campur traffic lagi. orang buat perangai atas jalan lagi. sapa kata x letih?

kita boleh tgk how mak bapak letih after driving balik kampung, smua flat je after driving.
sebab itu byk bas drivers take drugs.
sebab itu hanya orang yang bawak kerete / kapal terbang / kapal laut / kapal apa2 pon yang mengetahui azabnya musafir itu.

ok, dats the 1st point on musafir is azab.

next, is an answer from a source of knowledge.
ok, so Syeikh Fuad said, memang la musafir ini azab. cuba naik kapal terbang, ingat senang ke nak buang air?
ramai yang tak selesa kalo dalam perjalanan / permusafiran.

3rd is the hands on experience.
well i guess its a hikmah y this post came in late. i posted this after gaining hands on experience on musafir ialah secebis daripada azab.

here's the experience.

macam biasalah, aidiladha. mesti banyak makan.
u name it, daging korban masak lemak, masak sup, masak segala masak, campur mcdonald prosperity burger mantap sedap berasap, campur air coke sejuk yang masyuk, campur air gas Fraser n Neave yang berwarna hijau, campur segala campur dalam perut.
kalau buat chemical equation ni, nak jadi apa tah dlm perut.
yang tau: EXOTHERMIC BEBEH~!

maka, meluap-luaplah reaction yang berlaku secara spontaneous dalam perut ini.
which leads to SAKIT PEROTTTTTTTTT~!

then smlm, i was feeling all the gas n reaction. then it stroke me like THUNDER. (DUM DUM DUM~)
kesakitan toxic2 yang merayu2 untuk di-excrete-kan dari digestive system terlalu menyakitkan.
perjalanan setengah jam dari stwgsa ke cheras di rasakan bagai perjalanan kl-jb.
sungguh perit.
nak melepas? bahaya, dalam kereta.
nak stop? mana ada tempat stop, highway lah~!
maka? rasakan azab siksa yang amat pedih.
sepanjang perjalanan tu, dipikirkan kenapa lah sangat pedih ni.
ni baru sakit perot, belom nak deliver baby cm dlm syllabus bio.
itu blom mati kene langgar lori lagy.
mak oy.

sebaik sahaja sampai ke gate rumah, maka berlarilah saya ke dalam rumah sblom kereta sempat masuk rumah lagi dan menjalankan urusan bisnes yang tertunggak.

sesungguhnya, teori itu amat mudah. ya, kita smua tau sakit perot itu perit. tapi adakah sama orang yang tau kesakitan perot dengan orang yang sedang merasai kesakitan perot? tidak sama sekali.

ya, cakap memang mudah. tetapi lepas terhantuk baru tengadah. bak kata iklan yang bersepah2 di mana2 : cuba dulu, baru tau.
memang betol pon.

maka, terbuktilah bahawa sememangnya permusafiran itu secebis dari azab.
nasib baik Nabi kata secebis, kalau Nabi sebot seketol, or segenggam, or sepersepuluh, macam manalah agaknya rasa sakit perot time musafir ya?

ya, kita boleh berfikir tentang maksud dari hadith Nabi, tapi jangan kita PERSOALKAN hadith Nabi.
buruk padahnya.

pernah seorang ini, mempersoalkan hadith Nabi yang kata:
selepas tidur perlu berwudhuk semula kerana kamu tak tahu ke mana kamu letakkan tangan kamu itu.

maka orang ni dengan berani katakan : Aku tau mana aku letakkan tangan aku sewaktu tdo.

satu hari dia tdo, bangun2, tgk2 tangan dia dah masuk ke dalam lubang dubur sampai ke paras siku.

semoga kisah ini membawa manfaat kepada pembaca.

the law of attraction, optimistic, realistic and pessimistic

sometimes we might come to think in life, that things just dont happen the way that we want it to be, or the least expected it to be.

then we come to a part where we think that is life, it bites and it hurts. wake up n smell the coffee. this is reality.

while others succeed in life, we rot n dwell in failure.
while others enjoy their time, we fret n swell in our own mischief.

sometimes, its just hard to find a simple explanation on this life issue.

well, some say they have uncovered a secret. which is THE LAW OF ATTRACTION.

based on this law, they say that is why 1% of the world population controls the remaining 99%.

the law states that whatever we think of, we will attract it and tend to create this reality. if we think that we're going to be rich, then we are attracting the reality and it will tend to happen.
same goes the other way around. we think we're going to fail, then we are attracting that reality of failure to us and it will happen.

while i thot this would be just a theory and mayb just superficial, i thot again.
maybe this stuff could just be true enough of an explanation.

Nabi ada bersabda:
al-balaa u muwakkilu bil mantik.
"bala itu diwakilkan dengan perkataan"

from this hadith, Nabi said that anything bad we say will become into reality.
and this applies to anything good that we say.

so does this ring a bell in our heads?

maybe dis serves as an explanation y Islam teaches us to always say good things n prevent from saying bad things?
maybe dis is y Allah suruh kita selalu berdoa n meminta kepadaNya?

so, logically thinking, when we always say " y am i such a moron?" or "y am i such a loser" or stuffs,
well the answer is just within our heads.
we're losers bcoz we kept saying it.
we're losers coz we r losers right from our very thoughts.

what if we have d winners thought n mentality from the start?

people always say:
dari segi psikologi lagi dah kalah, or stuffs like dat.

maybe, dis is just the answer to the causes - and probably the solutions - to every problem there was, is, and going to be...

saya, awak, dan mereka yang menghalang lalu lintas

its been a while since the last post. well, raya was it? ok lah tu. nampak la sibuk siket.

now, a few things happend since the last post. well, actually banyak, but trying to simplify things.
haha.

ok, so the other day, nuqaba' played the dvd "Man Ana?" (siapa saya)by Habib Ali Al-Jufri during usrah. eventho i've seen it over n over again, still so many have been forgotten. which completely shows that we always need to be reminded.

one of the best part i liked about the talk is the question of existense.

adakah kewujudan kita ini suatu kewujudan yang hakiki ataupun maani?
adakah kewujudan kita ini suatu kewujudan yang pasti atau pon ilusi?
adakah kewujudan kita ini suatu kewajipan atau pon keharusan?

dengan memikirkan persoalan2 ini, kita boleh lihat sebenarnye, bahawa orang2 yang mengetengahkan kepentingan diri sendiri dan mengetepikan kepentingan ramai adalah orang yang tidak menyedari hakikat kewujudan diri sendiri.

sekiranya kewujudan kita ini bukanlah wajib, malah bukan kewujudan yang sebenar2nya, adalah pelih sekiranya kita mementingkan diri sendiri.

sungguh pelik orang yang boleh berkata:

its my right.
i demand it to be given to me.

dan sebagainya.

sungguh pelik.

dan seterusnya, kisah open hse syasya.

well, biasalah kan. biasanya bila kata nak sampai pukul 1, kul 2-3 la sampai.
nasib baik la kata nak sampai pukul 1, kalo kata nak sampai pukul 3, pukul brape plak nak sampai?

pokok ceritanya is about driving.
sungguh lama saya driving dan duduk dlm kereta. mainly becoz tggu org aa.

1 thing dat made me wonder, y do people always block the right lane while they r actually slow pokes?
kenapa byk org yg slow di jalan raya? (slow yang melambatkan perjalanan lalu lintas)

sungguh menghairankan kenapa byk org yg bleh slow2, seolah2 mereka mempunya masa yang sangat banyak untuk di spend atas jalan raya.

sekirnya betol pon banyak masa, tidakkah mereka pernah mendengar kata2 Nabi bahawa " musafir itu ialah secebis daripada azab"?

so kenapa nak mengazab diri lama2 dgn bermusafir di jalan raya?

hmmm, masyarakat zaman skrg sangat memelikkan orang lain.
